The gallery is located at 69 Maple Street. For more information visit our website at http://www.patricialaddcarega.com or call 284 7728. Gallery Hours are from 10 to 5 Monday through Thursday and from 12 to 5 on Sunday.

Jeanne O’Toole Hayman has been a painter and a print maker for over twenty years. Her paintings and prints are at the gallery. The series on exhibit for Figure and Form are ink drawings on vellum or Mylar allowing a transparency which passes through the layers of each work. An exquisitely rendered skeleton might lurk on sheet two as he observes two figures in motion on sheet one. This work is charming, whimsical, and airy.

Kathryn Field, will show her new work upstairs. This series also concentrates on the figure. Field, a sculptress and a painter, combines both disciplines in cut metal sculpture. The figure replaces landscape in the new pieces. Light passing through the cuts adds a dramatic dimension to the work. On the walls are studies of the figure in different media. Simple and elegant these drawings and cut outs are quiet and contemplative.
